The girl she was, the woman she could be

She cries With tears in her eyes She's in pain Slowly going insane She says she's fine But she has been saying so since she was nine She feels as if there is a hole in her heart But that is only one part If only people knew that she was a jewel Maybe they wouldn't be so cruel She has a mother Who doesn't love her And a father Who has traveled farther She doesn't know why she is alive Why can't she just go back to the age of five She decides to take her own life Not knowing that one day she would make a great wife She was a teen Never mean This is real No funny deal I'm not a preacher Nor a teacher I'm only a writer acting as a highlighter
